T-Works have produced this T-bar chassis brace for the Xray X4. Machined from aluminium and finished with black anodising and chamfered edges, it mounts directly to the chassis at the back side of the car. Mounted directly under the belt, it sports a cutout to prevent interference with the belt and comes with five screws to allow you to adjust how much or little flex you want.

Introducing the limited edition Hannya 1/10th scale high performance drift car from Onisiki. Featuring several design features which increases performance and also increase quality of life whilst building, each individual car will have its own unique number marked on the chassis. Flippable suspension mounts allows the suspension pin to be lower than the chassis plate to further tune the roll centre of the car and there is also multiple camber link mounting holes on the rear hubs that allow you to further fine tune how your car reacts in the corners.

Reflex Racing have released their GLR GT brass chassis, for the 1/28th GL Racing GT. Designed to increase stability, keep the car flatter and make it more consistent over a full run, they have achieved this by moving the weight bias of the car further forward by scalloping the battery area and making the front section wider. They also have finished the chassis in a slick, black coating with laser engraved Reflex logo and have chamfered the edges of the contact areas to reduce friction and make the chassis really pop.

Awesomatix have released a number of new option parts for their A12 as well as the A800MMX and A800FX. First up for the A12 is a -6mm wheelbase set, that provides a 6mm shorter wheelbase with AT1204 steering blocks and a 3mm shorter wheelbase with AT1204-ZT steering blocks. Each part is also available separately. Next up is a simple tuning option, a pair of C1.1 (Dark Brass) front springs. Next up for the Awesomatix double universal joints is this extra strong steel universal ring set, especially recommended for racing at tracks with hard boards. Provides reduced backlash with improved concentricity and precision as well as improved strength. For the A800FX is a new cap head screw, the length of which is optimal for the currently most popular FWD body shells. Finally for the MMX is the updated front bulkhead that features slightly modified end tips to further extend the clearance of the steering link at full lock under suspension up travel.
Xpress have released the latest iteration of their popular Execute XQ10 touring car, the XQ10R. Using the same basis, with mod motor configuration, split bulkheads and an economical price, the new ‘R’ now comes with a ton of options now as standard.

For the Infinity IF14-2, Creation Model have released a new line of flex shock towers. By reducing the rigidity of the shock tower connecting point to the upper bulkhead, the stiffness around the bulkhead section is reduced and the overall chassis flex is increased. When used up front it can result in a calmer initial steering response with the reduction in initial stiffness helps smooth out cornering and can help reduce tyre wear. In the rear it allows for smoother rear rotation. The rear tower comes in regular and horizontal body post versions.
Bittydesign have released their 3rd body shell for the 1/10 M-chassis class. Having recently launched the Hiberya 190mm FWD body, today they introduced the Hiberya-M for the 1/10 Mini class. The shapes are inspired by a real car racing in the TCR championship and have been adapted to the proportions and measurements necessary for use with the most common M-chassis models on the market. The design phase took several months to finish every single detail, the attention to detail was obsessive in order to propose a body that could optimise aerodynamics and at the same time remain true in its proportions and aesthetics.

Zuykov, new brand of Russian TC driver Denis Zuykov have released amongst other things, this TC setup station. The idea behind this product is that the kit contains everything you need to set up your car including camber, caster, toe, EPA, droop and ride height. The scale for the camber setting is not at the bottom as usual, but at the top of the setup wheel. This scale is closer to the eyes and its location is much more convenient. Each setup wheel uses 2 bearings for a smooth movement and a scale at the top allows for minimal movement of the bottom over the setup board, greatly increasing accuracy. The top plate can be used on cars up to 210mm wide, adjustable from 40mm out to 40mm in. For owners of Awesomatix A800 the kit includes measuring caster blocks. Thanks to the scale on the side of the setup wheel, the caster and camber can be adjusted simultaneously without the need for a calipers. To change the length of the turnbuckle, there is a 3mm and 4mm wrench in the box.
